This is an incredibly exciting project -- congrats to the Prakash lab. One of the most exciting advances in global health and science education I've seen in a long time.
Given where some of their funding is from (Gates Foundation, NIH Fogarty Institute Global Health Equity Scholars (GHES) Fellowship, other global health foundations), I really hope they open source this design under an appropriate open source license. The benefits to the developing world of having this design available to the public under an open source license are tremendous.

The only details I can find for licensing don't look too promising (hopefully I'm wrong): http://techfinder.stanford.edu/technology_detail.php?ID=2922...
Edit: Is the CAD file public?
